This market reversal is insane.
Just a few hours ago, global stocks were crashing as Democrats swept both the U.S. House and Senate.
Nasdaq futures plunged more than 2%, while Japan's Nikkei and South Korea's KOSPI suffered massive losses.
But now look at how much these markets have recovered from today's lows.
• S&P 500: +2.18%
• Nasdaq: +3.13%
• Russell 2000: +2.31%
• Dow Jones: +2.16%
• Japan's Nikkei 225: +5.09%
• South Korea's KOSPI: +4.71%
These are massive recoveries in just a few hours.
So why are markets suddenly recovering?
One reason is that investors are starting to understand what the Democratic victory actually means for Trump's remaining two years.
Democrats have won both chambers of Congress, but that doesn't mean Trump has lost all his powers.
First, Republicans still control Congress until January 3, 2027.
After that, Democrats can block new legislation, investigate the administration and push for changes to government spending, AI regulation and crypto policies.
But there's a major limitation.
Trump can veto legislation passed by Congress, and overriding that veto requires a two thirds majority in both the House and Senate.
Democrats have won majorities, but they don't have enough seats to override his vetoes on their own.
This means Democrats can make Trump's economic agenda much harder to pass, but they also can't simply force through every policy they want.
The same applies to the Iran war.
Democrats could attempt to restrict military funding or pass legislation limiting further strikes, but Trump could veto those measures.
So the election doesn't automatically end the war or completely change U.S. economic policy overnight.
And markets may be starting to price that in.
A divided government could lead to political deadlock, but it could also prevent major policy changes that investors were worried about.

$XRP Holder Calls Out #Ripple CEO and Former CTO Over $RLUSD Focus, Demands $15–$20 XRP.
An XRP community member known as Fiduciary Ledger ’17 has criticized Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and former CTO David Schwartz for prioritizing RLUSD and other business products over XRP holders. He argued that investors supported Ripple throughout its five-year legal battle with the SEC, despite years of uncertainty, but have yet to benefit from the company’s growth.
He also said XRP should reach $15–$20 or higher, arguing that loyal holders deserve better returns. Meanwhile, Garlinghouse has called XRP a future “institutional gold standard for crypto rails,” while noting that Ripple will also use RLUSD and fiat currencies when they better serve customers.

🇺🇸 REPUBLICANS ARE DOMINATING ELECTION DAY TURNOUT IN FLORIDA.
As of 2 p.m. ET, registered Republicans held a massive 24.1-point advantage over Democrats among people voting today.
Mail + early voting was much tighter at R +2.3.
Put it together and nearly 7 million Floridians had voted, with Republicans holding a 6.9-point registration edge overall.
This shows party registration, not who each person actually voted for.

North Korea just played 4d chess with Circle this night and no one noticed...
The FBI flagged exactly ONE solana wallet: AffzFD
And still they moved $1.46M through circle's own bridge
How they did it and what Jupiter has to do with it:
Step 1: hide the trail via Jupiter lend
> AffzFD sends SOL to a "hop" wallet
> it gets split across ~35 burner wallets, then merged back
> deposited into Jupiter lend
> a brand new wallet pulls the same amount out minutes later
Step 2: the circle loop
> new wallet swaps SOL into USDC
> sends it out of solana via circle's bridge
> bounces through noble → dydx
> comes right back to solana into a fresh wallet
The numbers:
> 16 transfers out: $1,463,410
> 19 transfers back: $1,463,400
> frozen: $0
So, North Korea basically found a $10 washing to launder another $1.5M

Grok bot just hit a roadblock.
SpacexAI caps Grok Bot usage as Elon Musk confirms operating costs of the AI agent has become unsustainable.
Musk said that Grok Bot’s weekly allowances have been reduced because the cost of running the agent had become too high relative to revenue.
The move follows rapid growth, with Grok Bot reportedly reaching 800,000 paid weekly users within two months.
Users have complained that their allowances are now running out much faster, with some reporting usage limits being reached days before the weekly reset.
Musk says the changes are necessary to keep the service sustainable, while hinting that higher-usage plans may offer more capacity.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 BREAKING: The US just struck Iran’s Qeshm Island, the same day Trump said “no” to new strikes after the midterms, per WSJ.
Since oil’s 7% plunge, Trump and Iran are sending mixed signals on a deal.
Where things stand now:
Trump claims there’s been no fighting “for months,” but officials say quiet US strikes have run for weeks.
The US has told Gulf allies to prepare for a short and intense operation shortly after the election, per WSJ.
Iran’s President says the Supreme Leader has “granted the government certain authorities” to pursue a deal through diplomacy.
Tehran says Hormuz could reopen in 2 DAYS, but not until the US lifts its naval blockade.
Qatari mediators have drafted a 3 day roadmap to restart direct talks between the US and Iran, per Axios.
Trump tells Axios, “One way or the other, we will do something, but there is no rush.”
Trump says Iran wants a settlement “as soon as possible,” and oil prices are “dropping like a rock.”
VP Vance says progress has been made, and no deadline has been set to resume strikes.
Iran’s Supreme Leader has warned Iran would retaliate within and beyond the Middle East if the war restarts.
🚨ALERT: U.S. oil plunges 7% below $98 a barrel and Brent falls 5% as hopes for a U.S.–Iran deal grow.
Iran’s President Pezeshkian says, “We will attempt to resolve the issue through dialogue.”
The Supreme Leader has granted the government specific powers for negotiations.
“We are more ready for a military response and diplomatic path than before,” Foreign Minister Araghchi says, per IRNA.

A sad and terrible hack has just taken place on @solana, resulting in losses of nearly $1 million.
"King" (or 7dGrd) was the best-known MEV/arbitrage program, active on the chain for several years and inspired many of the arbitrage programs currently on the chain to develop and engage in arbitrage.
They generated several million dollars in profit, notably serving as the market leader between 2024 and 2025; an arbitrage "dinosaur" that had established itself as a leader, managing to find arbitrage opportunities before anyone else with a team of engineers behind it who were highly knowledgeable about the entire ecosystem and finance in general.
I will always remember February 14, 2025; the one and only day and moment in Circular's existence when I witnessed a single transaction that generated nearly $1 million in profit for an arbitrageur… just one transaction.
8h ago, their main wallet was completely drained (~$1m) and the funds were bridged to ETH using Mayan.
This race toward AI helps all of us, whether as entrepreneurs, companies or even individuals to accelerate and move ever faster, but the security issues that come with it are sometimes far more serious.
